[Father-Ted]

Well now, if what keyplus90 says about leaving Islam is true then a lot of people have been murdered because some people cannot read Arabic. What kind of a God would make a mistake like that?

[keyplus90]

Wildwood - Can I suggest you to also read 4-94, which obviously come before 95 and you may see what it is about.

Father-Ted, I can't understand Arabic either. I read translation.

[jourdain2]

To be honest, for 20 y,ears I have respected Islam, etc., etc., with my pupils - but it has now become ridiculous. I used to try to argue logically, but they seem to have got past that. I bow out and form my own conclusions -which are not happy or coincilliatory.

[naomi24]

As the man says, “The best cure for religion is studying the scripture”.

Father Ted is bona fide. He won’t lead you astray - so to speak.

Interesting video. Limited in examples though, but how much can one pack into a seven minute video ?

Ultimately each of us believes in that which we feel best fits our point of view. No one is going to get real insight until we die, if then.

/I can't understand Arabic either. I read translation. /
So KP your understanding of islam is no better than anybody else who has read a translation?

keyplus90- //Wildwood - Can I suggest you to also read 4-94, which obviously come before 95 and you may see what it is about. //

Does this mean that as a muslim, you can pick and choose which parts of the scriptures you like and which you can ignore???

[keyplus90]

I am not picking and chosing. Its you who have picked one verse but ignored the one before that which gives you the context. However that is the normal way of a few people when it comes to religious books. And one more thing, I don't believe your given translation was even from Quran form any authentic source. It looks more like as someone has put it together because word "Jihadist" does not exist in proper transaltion. It is rather a media formulated word.

The newer verses abrogate the older verses.
As his syphilis and mental illness got worse so he made up worse fairy stories for his half-witted followers.

[Svejk]

More mental stuff from the mentalists.

When I realised that this clip is simply someone talking about religion, I dipped out.

I do not have the time to spend listening to one person's views on a faith I do not share.

[Svejk]

Why do you constantly defend something you know nothing about?

[andy-hughes]

Svejk - //Why do you constantly defend something you know nothing about? //

If that is directed at me, you will need to be a little more specific.

Svejk, /As his syphilis and mental illness got worse so he made up worse fairy stories for his half-witted followers. /
It seems that syphilis originated in the Americas so could not have predated Columbus in the Old World. Mohammed's madness must have been caused by something else.

[naomi24]

It has been suggested that Mohammed suffered from epilepsy.

[jomifl]

I suppose syphilis isn't the only cause of insanity.
